I had a Flowtron for ten years. It worked great. The bulbs lasted three years (on a six hour timer). Finally I had trouble finding replacement bulbs, so I bought a Stinger UV40 (the bulbs were in stock at several stores). Mid way through the second year the Stinger stopped working. I got a new bulb, but it still didn't work. Found my ten year old Flowtron in the garage and tested both Stinger bulbs (both turned on, but sparks would arch like a Dr. Frankenstein machine). The Stinger bulb is also too long (stuck out the bottom of the Flowtron). I went online and found these Flowtron bulbs. I ordered two (one as a spare) and my Flowtron is working like new. I stuck the Stinger in the garage, but will likely throw it out. The online ratings of the Stinger are very poor (many don't last a year).
